Linux process port binds
I've started using Microsoft Edge Dev on my Linux workstation, and I noticed that msedge binds to a multicast address, a UDP port and a UDP6 port. What are these listening sockets doing, and how do ...
It looks like the two of the binds were from eBay. The :5353 binds were mDNS, and seem to be controlled by edge://flags/#enable-webrtc-hide-local-ips-with-mdns . Disabling that stops the multicast listeners. Though given what it actually does, it's not very offensive to have enabled.
